Minestrone with Beans and Spinach + 14 other Favourite Soups

My kids LOVE it when I make soup for dinner.

I like making soup because it’s an easy one pot meal. Soups usually include tons of great veggies and I can freeze the leftovers for another night.

This week I made a yummy Minestrone soup that I’m adding to my soup rotation.

{What you Need}

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 handfulls of fresh spinach
• 1 large can (796ml) of diced tomatoes
• 4 cups of vegetable stock
• 2/3 cups of penne (or other noodle you’d like to use)
• 1 can (540ml) of kidney beans, rinsed

{Make it}

1. In a large stock pot heat oil, add onions and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Stir in handfulls of spinach and cook until it wilts.

2. Add the tomatoes and cook. Continue stirring.

3. Pour in stock and bring to a boil.

4. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Stir in pasta and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until pasta is tender.

6. Stir in the beans and cook until heated through.

My entire family loved this soup! I loved how easy it was to make!
